FundraisingManager has an option so you can set the Deposit Date of an offline donation like a cheque to be the Close date for a donation. This option is only valid for the donationManager (default form configuration) as that's the only place where offline donations are accepted. 


To enable this option follow these steps:


  1.  Go to your default form configuration (where Active Default Configuration is checked)
  2.  Enable the checkbox Close Date from Deposit Date
  3.  Save the record 


donationManager will now update set the Close Date for offline gifts based on the deposit date.
